I went the cheapo route many years ago, and bought a sucker bulb from Radio 
Shack. It is almost completely useless. I'd suggest getting a RS desoldering 
tool (around $8.00, I think). I've used mine for a long time with fairly good 
results (i.e., not frying a lot of parts during removal). With a double sided 
PCB, though, it is twice the "fun" of getting parts out. I've never used 
solder wick, but I'm definitely picking some up after all these reviews!
